Aiea put together a solid second half performance last night scoring three unanswered goals to beat Pearl City 3-2 in OIA Red Western Division Girls Varsity Soccer played at Pearl City High School's Edwin "Bino" Stadium.
Pearl City's Tasha Inong scored a goal in both the first and second half to give the Lady Chargers a 2-0 lead. The Lady Na Ali'i stormed back in the second half behind Raisa Strom-Okimoto who scored the first of her two goals to move Aiea within one at 2-1. Teammate Tamera Mikamura tied it at 2-2 with a shot into the left corner of the goal. Strom-Okimoto followed with a shot on goal that got past Pearl City goalie Ariela Bali and into the back of the net that broke the tie and won the game 3-2.
Pearl City and Aiea pulled even at 1-1 in league play.
The Lady Chargers return to action on Tuesday, December 10, on the road at Waialua High School.
Go Lady Chargers!
